yeh i bought the lifeline set a year or so ago when i moved out from a house with loads of tools, it's the only way to acquire a good set of bike tools cheap.
but things to bare in mind are, the tyre levers are rubs, so is the chain breaker (which broke), the chain whip is 3/32 (can change to 1/8 with spare chain though), quite a lot of the tools are only applicable to geared bikes. but you get a decent crank puller, 15 spanner, crank hex, cable cutter etc.
the only items i use regularly from the lifeline set are these
everything else i have had to replace. and i don't really use the mini tool as it is so smal you can hardly get any leverage on an allen bolt.
so the more i think about it the more i think it's not worth it.
